Alison Cotton – Only Darkness Now LP

Here is the second solo LP by the wonderful London-based singer/multi-instrumentalist Alison Cotton. Originally issued on cassette by the mighty Bloxham Tapes, just about everyone who heard ‘Only Darkness Now’ suggested it might make for an excellent LP. And hey – they were right. Alison’s debut LP ‘All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre’ received wide ranging critical acclaim from placing in the Guardians Writers Album Of The Year to placing in the Quietus Albums Of The Year. Ms. Cotton has a storied past performing with Saloon and The Eighteenth Day Of May, and she still may be found doing likewise with The Left Outsides. And don’t get me wrong – those are all great bands, but solo work allows Alison to follow different and often darker paths through the forest of sound. Of which this album is a perfect example. Co-release between Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube. Comes on black vinyl.
